***EXCERPT*** 'Into the Dark' (Into the #2) by TA McKay



Excerpt one: 

 

“A hard on that you were only to happy to rub up against a few minutes ago. Lets not act all shy now, Niamh, I could feel how wet you are for me.” Maybe that was the wrong thing to say, maybe I pushed it just a little too far.

“Fuck you, Mason.” My name leaves her mouth, and before I can react she grabs me, her knee connecting with my dick. Red, fiery pain explodes from my balls and I have the sudden urge to puke on the floor. Collapsing to my knees I hear a slight ringing in my ears, I’m pretty sure it’s my blood pressure causing it since suddenly, it’s off the fucking scale high. My forehead reaches the floor without any effort as I continue to hold my balls and will them not to explode into a bloody mess. She kneels down next to me, getting close to my ear so she doesn't have to talk too loud. 

“Have fun tonight with whatever tart you take home, hope you can still get it up ok.” I can hear the smile in her voice but I just can’t do anything about it. My concentration is still on trying not to puke ... or cry.

 

Excerpt two:

 

“Rocco?” Ok, now I'm really confused. Where the hell did he come from, and why is he here? I have no idea what is going on, but I don't have much time to think before Makenzie is leading me up the stone steps.

“Makenzie, please tell me what’s going on. Where are we going?” She doesn’t miss a step when she answers me.

“All will be revealed, Niamh. You know what, you worry too much.” I worry too much? I think I have a right to worry when we walk through the doors of a strange building. She leads me through a hall until we are standing in front of a set of closed double doors. Rocco appears by my side and takes my hand, placing it in the crook of his elbow. He looks down at me and gives me a huge smile, the smile that makes me realise why Makenzie fell for him. 

“Are you ready?” My heart is racing in my chest with nerves. I've never felt like this before, the knowledge that something is about to happen but not knowing what it is. 

“Ready for what?” He leans down and kisses my cheek as the doors in front of us open.

“For this.”

***REVIEW*** Life Support (Breathe Series Book 2) By Zoe Norman.


Life Support picks up where Rescue Breathing stops.
We continue the journey of the smart, sassy Olivia & the gorgeous, protective Owen.
The struggles these two have endured in their past & present are shocking, can they come out unscathed? Only time will tell.

The ups & downs in this story will have your head in a spin.  You will laugh, cry, swoon & scream. Let me tell you there were several times I wanted to shake some sense into these two loveable characters!

We get to see more of their closest family & friends although I would still liked to have seen more of Owen's sister & mother at some serious situations but this did not detract from the story.

I wanted to hug Olivia's best friend Charley so hard for being head of the 'Olivia fan club' yet also being first in line to knock some sense into her too.

I would love to see more books in this series for Olivia & Owen or separate books for their friends, 
but thats just me being greedy. This story does answer all questions.

***BOOK INFO*** Into The Deep (Into the #2) By TA McKay


Synopsis

Life is never easy. 

Makenzie Pierce knows this better than anyone. 

After losing everything that was important to her, her fiancรฉ, job and home, she is about to start her life all over again from nothing. One morning, a chance encounter seems to be changing her luck and at first it seems for the better … but is it? 

Rocco Cole also knows only too well how hard life can be. After suffering a tragic accident, one which almost stole his life, his world imploded into a mess of both abuse and pain, leaving him nothing but a deeply broken man. 
Vowing to never trust or ever love again, could it really be possible for him to let someone in after only one meeting? Can a simple encounter change everything he ever believed about himself?

Makenzie is drawn to the chemistry between herself and Rocco, but as he continues to pull away from her, without any reason, she has to decide whether he is worth fighting for. Is she the one woman that can make him believe that he is worth something to someone? And can she be that someone?
When she finally uncovers the truth, Mackenzie has to decide if she is the one who can help change the demons that live inside the man that she thinks she can so easily fall in love with. 

Life is never easy, but sometimes the things you really want and need can be worth fighting for, even when you have to take a huge leap of faith and follow your heart, Into The Deep.

***REVIEW*** Into The Dark (Into The #2) By TA McKay


TA McKay has done it again with another fantastic story!

We have the cheeky 'bad boy' Mason with his 'I'm sexy & I know it' attitude that you can't help but love.
Vs
The feisty & stubborn Niamh with her 'plain Jane' complex.

They are the perfect match neither knows they need.  

Can the perpetual playboy change his ways for the feisty brunette? 
Can she take the risk of just being another one night stand?

Watching them interact together is hilarious, I wanted to both hug & throttle them throughout.
You will laugh (& probably snorty laugh) cry, swoon & scream. 
I devoured this book in one day, much to the horror of my other half. (Don't feel sorry for him he had sports to watch.) it is unputdownable. 

I loved Into The Deep (Into The #1) so getting certain scenes from an alternate point of view was fantastic, as was getting more of the characters we met in the first instalment throughout.
This feeds my greedy 'I need more' nature!
I can't wait for book 3.

Synopsis

 

Don’t hate the player … hate the game. 

 

Have fun. Never settle.

 

Those are the very words that Mason McIntyre has lived by for most of his adult life.

The single life is the one he craves. The one that suits him.

A different girl in his bed each weekend, with no ties. It’s the only way to be. 

But, what will happen when he finally meets a girl who dares to say no? 

What will happen when the challenge of that one unobtainable girl becomes something else? 

What will happen when the player finally gets played?

 

Niamh Knight doesn’t like players, especially ones who have slept with most of her friends. A pretty face doesn’t impress her, but when that pretty face becomes connected to a man who won’t give up his fight for her, how long will she be able to keep her guard up? 

She tries to stay away, tries not to fall for his charm. But, will the player finally win his prize?

 

Both are faced with a challenge. One like they’ve never faced before.

Can the player finally settle down with only one girl? And, can that girl trust the player? 

They know one thing for certain. It’s like the blind leading the blind … Into The Dark.
